DNM noob having issues with localbitcoins on TAILS, please send help

[FreeTJ]

The usual error is when I try to upload an png file like the vendor is asking for. Short version is I never can and its embarassing.
Error message: Could not send the message. Please try again. (error code: 0)
Tails setup: slider set to standard to use the localbitcoins website. Normally use TAILS with slider set to max and auto:config javascript disabled.

There also has to be a better way to get png files onto TAILS and uploading them than what I've been doing so far. I'd like to hear whats the best practice there since I'm trying to minimize anything being plugged into my burner laptop.
Something like a giftcard payment on that website usually requires pics of the card and a receipt to show it was paid in cash, as well as when it was activated, from what I'm gathering. And I currently can't do the proof of purchase step. Can ya help me out?

Let's take a step back - Why are you using LBC to buy coins from Tails?
Ideally, you'd buy LBC using your own real identity (prepaid / debit card on your name, coins bought into your main wallet for clearnet purchases).
Then you somehow move some coins to your clearnet wallet down to the darknet one.
And from there you use your coins on the DNMs as you please.
So no real need to buy coins on LBC and similar while in TAILS...

I'm trying to remain as anonymous as possible throughout the process and minimize any trace of me buying btc as a starting point. Appreciate the headsup and the reminded of best practices. I'm trying to avoid the clearnet part as much as possible but if I have to, no worries, thats what the rest of the steps are for.

I see what you mean - But if you use real life card details to buy coins from LBC directly to your DNM wallet, then the link is pretty direct...

So apparently according to the dnm bible, i'm just making it hotboy by using tor to go to these sites. I don't use any irl card details. Cash only and at least one layer between me and the site im getting my btc, e.g. amazon gift cards apparently require an ID check at a certain value so theres a trail there I couldn't avoid once, but lbc doesn't have that info.

Be careful on LBC as lot of LE on it
